Publisher's description: The Governor's Energy Office (GEO)'s STAR project picks up where GEO's Renewable Energy Development Infrastructure (REDI) report left off. The STAR project provides an extended update, as well as modeling of work produced in earlier reports issued by the Governor's Office and the GEO. The project further delves into the changing energy resource landscape. The report provides a detailed analysis of ways in which policy-makers can plan for an optimal mix of demand side measures, supply side resources, and the transmission infrastructure necessary to deliver reliable electric power to a growing, and increasingly electrified state. With proper planning Colorado can meet the power needs of the future while protecting Colorado's natural heritage for future generations.
